Residents of the San Francisco Bay Area will welcome Kids' Adventures Around San Francisco Bay: Educational Places To Go, Things To Do, And Classes To Take In The North Bay, Peninsula, Silicon Valley, East Bay, And Santa Cruz, a book packed with ideas for visits and repeat visits to Bay Area attractions which are kid-friendly. The attractions chosen here help kids to learn new things, covers the entire Bay Area, and includes related follow-up activities to reinforce learning. These attributes plus an attention to budget-minded trips makes this a much more accessible travel guide for the entire family.

I bought a couple of books on this topic from amazon and this is my favorite. It is categorized by type of activity, not geographical location. If I feel like going to a zoo and what to know what's available, I just turn to Animal Kingdom and see all the zoos in the bay area. With other books I bought, I would have to look through peninsula, south bay, east bay, and such to find the activities I wanted. This book also lists seasonal events, classes to take, and a list of free activities. This book is my new bible for spending time with my daughter.

This book is well organized and full of useful information. It clearly lays out activities by interest (e.g., animals or trains) and by age group. It is a must for any adventurous family in the Bay Area.
